Core Values
1. WE ARE LEAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
We live in dependence on God by seeking to hear His voice and receive His direction and wisdom for all areas of our lives.
2. WE CREATE A PLACE TO BELONG
All members of our group are included, valued and welcomed. As a ministry, we seek to recognize and utilize the giftings of all our staff, volunteers and students. We look out for each other and take interest in/work to address the physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of all our community members.
3. WE ARE AUTHENTIC
We value being exactly who we claim to be; as a ministry and as individuals. We encourage our members to be true to their personality, values and spirit and to be genuine, sincere and steadfast in all they say and do. We like to keep things real; to be open and honest with ourselves and with one another.
4. WE PURSUE A CHRIST
CENTERED LIFESTYLE
We want our lives to reflect Christ. This comes through purposeful engagement with Him. Seeing Christ changes us. The more time we spend gazing upon Him, the more we become like Him. A Christ-centered life is one that is focused upon a commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord.
More About YWAM
Youth With A Mission is a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups, and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. Also known as YWAM (pronounced “WHY-wham”), we unite in a common purpose to know God and to make Him known.
Back when we began in 1960, our main focus was to get youth involved in missions. Today, we still focus on youth, and we also involve people aged 9 to 90. We currently have tens of thousands of staff (called
“YWAMers”) and we work in thousands of teams and locations. One of the joys of participating in YWAM is to work with people from many nations. YWAM’s staff come from nearly every country in the world, including places like Indonesia, Nepal, Mozambique, and Colombia.
